Chapter 82


    Daly was suffering from heatstroke, and Maja didn’t want to argue with a sick person, so she nodded,


    saying, “Gotcha.”


    Daly chuckled, feeling terribly sorry for her.


    Maja didn’t say anything else and drove Daly to the hospital.


    In the meantime, Susan called, asking why they hadn’te home yet.


    “He’s got heatstroke. I’m taking him to the hospital. We’ll probably be backte.”


    Upon receiving the Information, Susan grew anxious, “Which hospital are you at? I’ming right


    over.”


    After providing the name of the hospital and hanging up, Maja received another call.


    ‘Ms. Pennyfeather, hi, your apartment has been sold, but we need you toe in person to sign the


    contract. When will you be avable?” Wait, the apartment was sold?


    Maja took a deep breath. It was good that the apartment was sold, so she would have money for the


    down payment for the house.


    “Alright, I’m still in town. I can sign as soon as I get back.”


    “Great, I heard you need the money urgently. It still needs to go through the bank, so it’ll probably take


    about two weeks. The sooner you sign, the sooner you can get the money.” “Got it, thanks.”


    With this matter settled, Maja breathed a sigh of relief. At least when her grandfather came back, she


    wouldn’t have to seen at Rosewood Manor again.


    She was about to go back to the ward when she saw Daly walking out of the ward.


    “Maja, I’m okay now. No need to stay in the hospital. It’s just a waste of money. Just take me home. I’ll


    rest for a few days.”


    “I’ll cover your hospital expenses. Don’t worry about the money.”


    However, she still couldn’t convince Daly, so after getting his medicine, she had to take him home.


    Susan made dinner and hoped Maja could stay.

    Upon seeing Olivia, who had juste in from outside, Maja shook her head.


    “No need. I haven’t finished my painting of Riverside Haven yet.”


    Once Susan heard it was about Riverside Haven, she didn’t push her to stay.


    As she passed Olivia, she heard a snort of contempt.


    “What’s this Riverside Haven painting? Are you trying to hook up with that guy? I heard your husband


    is loaded. If you’re cheating on him, you know what the consequences would be


    right?”


    In fact, Olivia herself had wanted to get close to that guy. He was so charming and handsome. If he


    took a liking to her, wouldn’t she be able to do whatever she wanted in this county? However, despite


    several attempts, she couldn’t even get into the Riverside Haven. Moreover, she heard that the guy


    was leaving the day after tomorrow.


    Maja knew what she was up to and reminded her, “If you want to get in touch with him, at least get a


    college degree. You didn’t even finish middle school. Even if you do get to talk to him,, you probably


    won’t understand a word he’s saying.”


    Olivia was so angry that she was about to curse, but Maja had already walked out before she could say


    a word.


    Maja got in the car, feeling a splitting headache. Olivia was not only unintelligent but also poorly


    educated. Her expectations always exceeded her abilities. She was always hoping for: high–paying


    job, but she had never earned a dime.


    She had always been supported by Susan and Daly. After her cousin left, Olivia’s behavior became


    even more outrageous.


    This was Daly’s family business, and as a member of the younger generation, she shouldn’t interfere


    too much.


    When she drove the car back to the yard, Maja realized that she hadn’t eaten anything since noon and


    was now so hungry her stomach was growling.


    She knew there should be a cafeteria in the yard, but she didn’t know where it was, and there was no


    delivery service in Crystalbrook Valley where she lived.


    Feeling ufortable from hunger, Maja contemted whether she should go out to buy something to


    eat when she noticedn stepping out from the archway.


    Seeing her,n instinctively furrowed his brow.


    Maja smiled at him and asked, “Mr. Raymond, do you know where the cafeteria is?”


    She was having a stomach ache and looked a bit pale.


    “Haven’t eaten yet?”n asked, his tone indifferent.


    Maja nodded and said with a hint of grievance, “I forgot.”


    “The cafeteria is closed. Jeff will bring food over soon.” His words implied they could have dinner


    together.


    Maja’s hand was on her stomach, and she felt a pang of pain at his words.


    Unexpectedly, the person who offered her a bit of warmth at this moment wasn, although it was just


    a small thing for him.


    “Thank you.” Her thanks were very sincere.


    Her skin was already very fair, and now it looked even paler because of the pain. She was biting her


    lip, looking very fragile and pitiful.


    He had seen her being tough and cold to others, and her confidence in debating at school, as well as


    her charm in rtionships…


    However, this was the first time he had seen her looking so aggrieved.
